All I can say is his stats history point that he didn't use the commander glitch:

feasible - He is obviously a good commander. There are no huge discrepancies like the OP suggests of huge leaps made in single rounds in the middle of the night. The only leaps are where the stats were not updated in several days (rest your mouse on it to see).
Now you may say, perhaps he idled all day and then commander glitched one round at night and went to bed. But if we look at his kill stats (including artillery) - he would have low deaths as a commander:
http://gibson.bf2s.com/player/45719422/history/Kills/ We see a consistant and non-zero kill rate. Eg. he is not idling away and then jacking 2k points at night and going to bed.
Compound this with the fact that hundreds of people have played with him to scout him out and see if hes a wanker or not says that he did not get reset for what the OP said and what he did get reset for we do not know.
Edit: also note the consistant SPM you'd expect of a good commander with his own server (E.g. he almost always gets commander due to his rank, and the player base stays similar so that there are no huge peaks or dives in his commander score which is what you would expect in this scenario):

I'll say it again because you morons obviously did not read this. Stop thinking there even is a video of him padding points, hard data says there isn't. If he did something else we don't know, but why do you accuse the guy with no evidence?
It's not like EA is perfect...they just want to be seen as doing something, and that means getting a message across, e.g. they won't reset hundreds of 20,000 point noobs that have been reported and flagrantly padding, as they are too low to indicate anything to the community. Reset Firestorm, and that sends a huge message, for what specific reset reason we don't know, but it's not like EA cares...the cost of one persons stats to enforce a message to the community, right or wrong I think Firestorm is fucked end of story.
They won't roll it back, they will send a form mail, and that will be the end of it. Once a company gets that big, they stop specifically caring about the customer (e.g. delivering a real reason) because it costs money. At the same time they don't want to bruise their image and seem uncaring to the community as a whole - so they will do things like arbitrarily reset stats to "protect" the community, but if you get reset, your fucked end of story. Whether you were a loyal EA customer means nothing in this new economy.
At any rate, maybe Firestorm got reported for being abusive, for stat padding for 5 minutes once, for going on a team killing rampage one day in his noob days, who knows, everyone has something that can be construed as illegitimate and with EA's current system one strike and you are gone should you be in the top 10-20.
Everyone saying serve you right fucking cheater etc. is an ignorant SOB. This stats system has made the worst of people - it is no longer about a good time, its about accusing everyone of being armor whores and noob tube whores, and spawn killing stat padders. Salt on the regular accusations of cheating that occur in every other game, and you have a regular old mud brawl, except its not fun with hairy men in uniforms. Maybe he did stat pad, maybe a million of you have stat padded, but unless it is flagrant 200K points, honestly nobody cares, not even EA cares until you get into the top. But for God sake, you don't have to turn on someone like a rabid dog when they have been known to be a good team player - what more can you ask for? It's not like all of you are good Christian virgins refusing to fight and only playing medic. Anyone of you I could screenshot some bad moments from your "careers" and report you too, and if you were in the Top 10, you'd probably get reset.
I wish EA did something about actual cheaters of which they are multiplying like no other. They are the fucking cheaters and I hate them, but the community can't fight back against them, because punk-buster has done nothing against the main hack, and neither has EA. So the community burns up over "stat-padders" while those douches with wall hacks walk around BF2 suprising even the best of us. Thats what burns me up and should burn you up too. Instead of focusing your attention on so-called stat-padders, start ranting about cheaters and maybe EA will listen like they did to your whining (not holding my breath).
